Clause 54 - Application of section 55
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I agree with the hon. Gentleman. Subsection (4) is the sort of provision that brings Government into disrepute. The provision should not be framed in that way; it must be more specific. I hope that the Minister can give us the full range of circumstances in which he would expect the provision to apply, and the terms under which it would be prescribed.
